Best thing for R33's and skylines in general is to keep it simple as far as body mods, A lot of aftermarket kits ruin the factory lines by being too chunky or have way too much overhang (ala veilside's creases and folds), R34's especially look horrid with most aftermarket kits (I do like the top secret one though)

As much as people will bag the 400r front bar for being too common, it's that way for a reason, prolly the best looking bar getting around aside from a gtr style bar.

When I had my R33 I had 400r sideskirts and a cutom rear lip on the bumper to match. I was going to put on a gtr style bumoer but ended up selling it and getting my R34

This is a pic of a genuine 400r, there are many fibreglass copies available. Similar styling to this would be my pick, aggressive but understated, not over the top like veilside

I personally hate the veilside kit... looks like a Darth Vader on steroids... ugly and just doesn't flow with the R33's lines (like another member said above)... GTR kit is fine as long as with no badge... the TRUST or TOP SECRET front bar is fine.

how the hell is 400r understated? serious question

Agreed. However, the 400R 's front bar looks too crowded... too much vents and stuff, i.e. I hate that vent thing on the side... personally, the GTR kit is king of the pack. Simple but tough.

what kit do you have on your car at the moment?

i personally thing the stock type m front bar and the gtr bars look the best

i have a 400r front bar which is good as well

oh and i have excreted feces that look better than the veilside kits

I havnt got any kit on my car at the moment just stock 33, thats why i wanna try make the right choice. I have looked at a fair few kits but nothing is really taking my eye.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
